Abstract:
ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of hyperbaric oxygen combined with dynamic scalp acupuncture on motor function for stroke patients with hemiplegia, and compare the effect of dynamic scalp acupuncture inside or outside hyperbaric oxygen chamber. MethodsFrom January, 2021 to June, 2022, 72 stroke inpatients with hemiplegia in Fuyang People's Hospital were randomly divided into control group (n = 24), combination group 1 (n = 24) and combination group 2 (n = 24). All the patients received routine treatment, while the control group received dynamic scalp acupuncture, the combination group 1 received hyperbaric oxygen and dynamic scalp acupuncture outside the hyperbaric oxygen chamber, and the combination group 2 received hyperbaric oxygen and dynamic scalp acupuncture inside the hyperbaric oxygen chamber, for four weeks. They were assessed with National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), modified Barthel Index (MBI), Berg Balance Scale (BBS), and Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) before and after treatment. The rest pulse oximetry saturation (SpO2)，the lowest SpO2 (SpO2L) and the variation of SpO2 (ΔSpO2) were measured in the first and last treatment. ResultsThe scores of NHISS, MBI, BBS and FMA increased in all the groups after treatment (|t| > 7.681, P < 0.001), and they were more in both the combination group 1 and the combination group 2 than in the control group (P < 0.05). During the first and last treatment, the rest SpO2 and SpO2L increased in the combination group 2 compared with the control group and the combination group 1 (P < 0.05), while ΔSpO2 decreased (P < 0.05); and SpO2L increased in the combination group 1 compared with the control group during the last treatment. ConclusionThe combination of hyperbaric oxygen and dynamic scalp acupuncture can significantly improve motor function and oxygen-carrying capacity in stroke patients with hemiplegia.
